They never bothered to think even once. They simply turned their brains off and parroted the News Mafia GOD whenever they were asked what they "thought".

My dad and I arrived at the baseball stadium to watch the game. We walked up the concrete walkway inside the stadium. The concrete walls and floors made my surroundings drab and grey. Finally, we made it to entrance into the stadium. I came out of the dark tunnels into the bright sunlight. The first thing to catch my eye was the vivid rush of color. Underneath the fluffy white clouds and their .....

partner should have our say in it. Of course! How can we marry someone who
